(ASCEND) Facsimile Administrivia
Hi all - a small bit of administrivia for you:
I've just been called by the Ascend marketing folks. They wanted to know my
fax number... I alerted them to 47 USC Sec 227, Restrections on use of
telephone equipment (http://www.law.cornell.edu/uscode/47/227.html).
What this means that if you receive a facsimile advertisement from Ascend,
and you do not currently have a business relationship with them, you can
collect $1500 *per facsimile you receive*. This is possible under section
5, Private right of action. After this point, they will be willfully and
knowingly violating the law. The law works; I have collected from companies
that have facsimile-spammed me.
I have nothing against Ascend. I have everything against unsolicited
facsimile and email advertising. It is wrong, and in the case of FAX, it is
also illegal. Don't let it slide.
